Google halts its newspaper digitization operations

Google has confirmed that it will stop digitizing old newspapers, blaming publishers who were searching to produce revenue off the archives rather than just leaving them absolutely free online like google wanted.

All old digital content articles will be discovered at news.google.com/archivesearch however the selection will not grow starting today.

There are currently 3.5 million challenges readily available while in the collection, from 2000 different newspapers.
